What a game we have on Christmas Day! Does it get any better then Celtics vs Lakers on Christmas Day? I don't think so. The NBA couldn't have set it up more perfect and I can't wait! It's gonna be one of the best, if not the best game of the regular season. The game will be played in LA, so that does help the Lakers in a way, but the Celtics have won 19 games in a row, so it even out. Let's break down the match up.

I think most NBA Fans are pretty excited for this game. I'm a die hard Celtic fan, so I might be a little bias when I say this may be the best game in the regular season this season, but I can't think of a game that can top it. For starters it's the oldest and biggest rivalry in the NBA and not only that there playing on Christmas day. I think that has the making of a fine ball game. Then you factor in the Celtics are 27-2, the best start in the history of the NBA and have won 19 games in a row vs the Lakers who are having a great season of themselves at 23-5. On top of all of that, the games being played in Los Angeles, a great place and maybe the best place to see a basketball game. If that didn't get you excited your not a fan of either these teams or the NBA for that matter. I honestly can't wait to see these two teams battle it out. The Lakers wanna end this winning streak badly and the Celtics wanna extend it out to 20 games and continue there quest to breaking the all time mark of 33 games. The Lakers will be a very tough match up for the red hot Celtics, playing in LA I think favors the Lakers big time. If this games was being playing in front of the Boston crowd on Christmas day, I'd pick the Celtics in a second, but it's in front on the Laker fans, so I'm not sure. It is a home coming for Paul Pierce and he usually played well in the Staples Center. The Lakers right now are coming off a nice win vs the Hornets on Tuesday night when they won 100-87. The Celtics are coming off a big win on Tuesday night, when they beat the 76ers 110-91. Both teams have off days on Wednesday before the big match up on Christmas Day. So basically both teams come into this match up hot, winning there last game by double digits. Both teams should also be pretty well rested as they have the off day Wednesday after there wins Tuesday night. Anyways, you should tune in on Christmas Day at 5:00 PM ET and 2:00 PM local time after you done opening presents and seeing family for a great game!
